The 22nd match of Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will take place between Melbourne Renegades (MLR) and Sydney Thunder (SYT). Both the sides will play this clash on January 01 (Friday) at the Metricon Stadium in Carrara, Queensland. The game will kickstart at 1:45 PM (IST) onwards. 

The two sides locked horns in this tournament earlier as well where the Thunder emerged as the better side. Defending 209, SYT registered a one-sided victory by 129 runs under the captaincy of Callum Ferguson at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Young all-rounder Oliver Davies won the ‘Man of the Match’ award for his brilliant batting performance in the game.

Moreover, Melbourne Renegades suffered a defeat in their previous match of the tournament against Sydney Sixers.
